Mercedes-Benz W108 cockpit

1965–1972

1970 300 SEL 6.3, the long-wheelbase W 109 sister of the W 108, seen square-on over the front seats (left-hand drive): an ivory two-spoke wheel with a chrome horn ring in front of a hooded pod holding a combined fuel, temperature and oil-pressure gauge, a clock and the 240 km/h speedometer; a wood fascia with the heater sliders, a Becker Mexico cassette radio and the ignition lock, two vents and knobs below it, and the automatic selector between window switches on the console, with blue velour seats in front.
